> String art, using whatever threads or floss are available, can be a
> fun and easy project. I do it with fifth graders and they are always
> amazed at the geometric patterns they can create. The designs can be
> simple or complex. If you don't have poster board available, the
> heavyweight shirt box/cereal box cardboard would work, too. Try to
> have a good supply of embroidery needles on hand. They are easier for
> the kids to thread. By the way, I have found that sticking the
> needles in an inverted styrofoam tray is a great way to keep them
> organized.
